The spay/neuter issue is covered... I spoke to Chris, and he has already given two of the dogs away. He has 5 dogs of his own, and the burden of eight additional pit bulls is too much for him to handle, regardless of the contributions he has received. He does not have any sort of screening process and is willing to give these dogs to anyone who calls and says they want a pit bull. Tomorrow, I am hoping I can set up some type of screening process to ensure these dogs go to good and safe forever homes.. I have only been able to find one so far. He is anxious to get rid of them as he can't handle them long-term.. There is only one pit bull rescue in Phoenix and they are offering to help spay/neuter, but only have a spot to foster one dog. I am going tomorrow to try and evaluate which one will work best in the provided home, being that I know both dogs that currently reside in the house he/she will be living.I am just very concerned that these dogs are going to be sent to anywhere, to whoever calls and says they want a free pit bull... Ideas on what to tell or advise Chris tomorrow when I see him?

Never make someone a priority in your life when that someone treats you like an option.

I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day, tomorrow doesn't look good either.

Just an update on the dogs-We have managed to get all of the dogs washed and de-ticked (they had over 200 ticks per dog, poor things). They have had their shots, big thanks to a donation.. And, they will all be getting fixed on Monday. I have been able to get one fostered already, and also had the lady who administered the shots take one as well. We are still working on finding homes for the parents, and four of the remaining puppies. But, they are enjoying living inside and away from the hot AZ sun for the first time ever! Thankfully, the man who took them in has A LOT of dog knowledge, and after spending the day with him, I don't think they could have fallen into the lap of a more wonderful person. We have had donations for food and vet care, and are doing the best we can to find good homes. The older male dog has some kind of absess on his back foot that we are trying to treat, but we are taking it day by day and learning a lot from these wonderful little guys. People have donated so many items for them which has helped a lot.. We might even have an overflow of crates to send off to BadRap!Thank you to everyone who commented and had something to say about this. This is my first opportunity to help hands on, and although you see how ugly people can be- you also realize how many people care and are willing to help out. I am off to go see the foster puppy, Dharma and check in on how she is acclimating to her new owners and brothers/sisters. Again, thank you to everyone and especially to Donna!
